Divorce with Sam and Leah

How to Forgive Yourself After Divorce (Especially When Kids Are Involved)


Listen Later

Self-forgiveness after divorce can feel impossible—especially for moms carrying guilt, shame, and regret about their marriage, their kids, and their co-parenting decisions.

In this episode, we talk honestly about why self-forgiveness is one of the hardest—and most necessary—parts of divorce recovery. We break down what moms commonly blame themselves for, including staying too long, missing red flags, survival-mode coping, emotional reactions, and the impact divorce has on their children.

You’ll learn practical, tangible steps to release self-punishment, separate responsibility from blame, and rebuild trust with yourself as you move forward through divorce and co-parenting. If you find yourself replaying the past, questioning your decisions, or feeling stuck in guilt, this conversation will help you begin letting that weight go.

If this episode resonates and you want continued support, deeper guidance, and real-life tools for healing and co-parenting with confidence, The Next Chapter is where that work continues. Inside the membership, you’ll find weekly support, practical workshops, expert guidance, and a community of moms who truly get it—so you’re not doing this alone.
